Ack! I'm sick of cooking 3 meals a day! I'm tired of doing dishes! Ack! How did my mother stand it?

It feels like whenever I think I've gotten a bit ahead, all the food gets eaten, all the dishes get used, and I have to start over. Every time I cook a batch of muffins, it's gone in 2 days. Who's eating 6 muffins a day? And I made some chocolate chip banana bread yesterday, and took one over to my sisters' on my way home from work. When I got home from work, half of the other one was gone! Fi had nibbled away at it. How do you eat 1/2 a loaf of banana bread without noticing?

And every night, Fi or I cook dinner, and it takes more time to cook than to eat!

On the other hand, we've saved quite a bit of money eating in rather than going out, but I think I am going to go nuts. It's mostly the dishes that get to me, because I like to cook. What also gets me is that Fi outweighs me by only 50 pounds, yet eats double the amount I do. Where is it going? Seriously, where? Is he going to hibernate sometime soon? (That'd be cool - 4 months without having to do dishes).

I am so starting to want a dishwasher and a microwave. Who was the nutso who thought that the counter space would be better occupied by her mixmaster than by a microwave? (Oh, yeah, that'd be me).

My husband fries anything that needs fried, you can't believe the mess he makes. Flour and grease everywhere. And I hate to tell you, eventually you get sick of unloading the dishwasher!! And as far as cooking, thanks for bringing up the muffins, I have some banana bread to cook, I'd forgotten about it! Donna
